Dope x3000 is Kaytranada’s latest mix; this time for Common’s ’07 sleeper heater “I Want You”. Kaytranada, who’s rise in the R&B space has been massive in 2013, selects for a space funk symphony treatment for Com’s track that is brilliant/perfect. Do not miss.

A few years ago Brooklyn duo Easy Lover were just a couple of kids (vocalist Kali Holloway ex-The Affair and Day for Night and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Wimmer) tryna start a new band on Craigslist. The two met through an ad Holloway placed on the social classifieds/sociological Fourier series. Fast forward to October 2013 and the BK band are dropping new EPs, showering in profile web coverage, drinking champagne and getting B3SCI premieres. Here, Easy Lover team up w/ remixer HTIMSETAN for the B3 premiere of this lighter-than-air, sunrise on the space shuttle refashion (word to all our NASA stans in the audience) of “All We Want”.

“Moon Circles” is new from London-based beats-tronica duo Maribou State. The low-footprint heavy-impact jazz-inflected tones of “Moon Circles” serves as a neat counterpoint to the now crowded trend of R&B/house-influenced music coming out of the UK right now. 100% fresh. Maribou State’s “Truths” EP is out now.

“I Like You” is the very good b-side to R&B-leaning dance artist Katy B’s upcoming “5 AM” single. And while Disclosure and AlunaGeorge and Bondax have taken many of the headlines during 2013’s revival of (good) dance music w/ soul in the UK, Katy B’s been with that sound (and writing and performing it at a very high level) for several years now. Stream “I Like You” below.

We are loving the wonderful R&B/house-blend of Australian Oscar Key Sung’s new “All I Could Do” single. The second track off his upcoming debut EP, “All I Could Do” is very nice in the production department (and diverse too; spanning from classic soul to current indie dance-pop) with a tune that is star level in its quality.

Jo Def is the latest signee to the awesome Soulection. The jabby West Coast-lean of Sade-sampling single “Swim” serves as his introductory release for the label with an LP Steps (from which “Swim” is excerpted from) on the way in November.

I’ve said it once and I will say it again – an Aussie remixing an Aussie is a winning formula. This time around it is a Future Classic party of Panama’s “Always” done up nicely from buzzing producer and labelmate, Wave Racer. The new single from the Sydney quintet has legs by itself and a nice remix from CLASSIXX, but this Wave Racer synth explosion is the icing on the cake. Scope it below. Reviewed By Brian Litwin

It seems that America’s youth is really starting to appreciate the true potential of a Sunday night. For example, whoever said that you must stay in early on a Sunday night to prepare for the dreaded Monday work day? As a packed Fonda Theater in Los Angeles this past Sunday night eagerly anticipated the electronic wonders of Holy Ghost! to take stage, not many seemed to mind any looming cases of ‘the Monday’s’ that would be theirs in only a few hours to come. Midnight Magic opened things that night quite nicely, the crowd was teeming and the band served a nice warm up to the synthpop dance party that was to follow.
Consisting of Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel, along with some friends to man the drums and machines behind them, Holy Ghost! provided a dance happy soundtrack to the Fonda’s vibrant atmosphere. The band sounded super tight throughout the evening, not skipping a single beat or cue. The crowd moved in rhythm, seemingly without a single person in the house resisting movement to the beat, and the band fed off that energy. Holy Ghost played fan favorites off of their self titled debut album and 2013 album Dynamics. The audience sang along most of the night, rolling through different fan faves like “Okay”, “Dumb Disco Ideas”, “Wait and See”, “It Must Be The Weather”, “It Gets Dark” and 2007 single “Hold On”. It was also bandmate Alex’s birthday… which made the night even a touch more special.
